The FC Barcelona has done official this Monday the agreement for the cession to the ACE Rome of his player Thomas Vermalen, that will play in the Italian group in this 2016-2017. In an escueto communiqué published by the Barcelona group, also affirms that "andl ACE Rome engages contractualmente that the participation of the player was active during the year of cession". Both clubs have agreed also an option of purchase when finalising the season. 

It does days that already knew that it was missing little so that both groups arrived to an agreement to close the commented cession of Thomas Vermaelen to the that has not gone him very well in the Barcelona picture, as the same Barça announces in his communiqué when remembering that "the footballer arrived to the Barça the season 2014/2015 pertinent of the Arsenal, but could not debut until the last party of League of that season because of the injuries that kept it out of the terrain of game".

Vermaelen, that goes having played only 21 meetings in these two seasons, annotated his only goal with the Barcelona to the Málaga in the victory of the ones of Luis Enrique by a so much to zero. The Rome will happen to have an option of purchase to the term of the present season between 8-10 million euros, figure that does not have desvelado still.

Therefore, if the Belgian no lesiona and plays with continuity in the Series To is likely that do not return already never more to the Ciutat Esportiva of Sant Joan Despí, unless it was to sack of his ancient mates. In the FC Barcelona had remained relegado to be the fifth head office of the staff, having by in front to Gerard Hammered, Javier Mascherano, Samuel Umtiti and Jeremy Mathieu, that would have prevented him practically have minutes of game unless it had produced some important injury.
